Executive Coaching

How do you navigate business growth successfully, when it means personal change?

Quantum Growth Executive Coaching gives info-preneurs the edge.

When you’ve already achieved some degree of professional success, and want to take your expertise and therefore your business to a completely new level, it’s sometimes difficult to find the time, the motivation, or THE idea that makes it work.

Typical reasons why you may want to hire me (Janet) to coach you include:

  • You know what to do but aren’t doing it. This can happen for any number of reasons and often causes people to get “down” on themselves (which only exacerbates the problem).  A lot of the time it’s simple overwhelm and together we can break it down to baby steps.  Sometimes it has to do with old patterning or outdated beliefs about ourselves that can be reprogrammed in a personal breakthrough session.  And occasionally your information is wrong or you’ve made the project bigger than it has to be.
  • You don’t know what to do and would like an education in strategy, marketing/lead generation, creating passive income on the internet and organizational development (managing free lancers or staffing) without having to go back to school.  You want to be taught what to do, challenged to think through your vision, held to your mission, and have tasks laid out in do-able “chunk” sizes so that you can get to your goal without having to reinvent the wheel.
  • You need a brainstorming partner.  For many of my clients it’s as simple as this, they may have employees, clients, or even associates yet in their role as business owner and manager they feel isolated and at sea.  There isn’t anyone in their environment who can keep pace with their thinking process, help them to innovate new ideas and directions and turn ad hoc activities into sustained campaigns.
  • You’ve started something...published a book, made a DVD or other information product, begun a speaking campaign…suddenly you are dealing with all kinds of marketing professionals (PR, web designers, copywriters, graphic designers, podcasting experts,…) you have no idea or inclination to learn their areas of expertise but you’re finding that everything is getting really chaotic and results are not justifying the expense or the hassle.
  • You want to “go national” (or international!), become THE go to professional for your expertise in your locale, or have some other big dream. Your business has been successful at its current level and now it’s time to restructure, get the word out and be the guru you are.  You need some one to hold your feet to the fire on this and help you prioritize and get things done.

Being coached to achieve a goal is just so much better than having to go it alone.

When you are being coached to get somewhere it can go even faster than you think it might, even when you know what you are doing.

Plus you will get these benefits:

  • Increased certainty that as long as you do the assigned work you will get the results. You are now being coached by someone who has not only been through these steps and gotten results but also coached others and seen the results happen.
  • A marketing and business education. Not only do I (Janet) have an MBA from London Business School (Europe’s number one ranked 2-year MBA program), substantive corporate strategy, marketing, sales and management experience, a certification by marketing guru Robert Middleton, and the list goes on… BUT we are constantly learning and experimenting.  Our learning immediately becomes your resource.
  • A Master NLP Practitioner and Trainer, at your service. Got “stuckiness”? Just having a temper tantrum?  Not a problem any longer. We can identify it, clarify a direction that maximizes your choices, and wire you to go there…all with compassion, heart and deep, deep respect for the you that created the issue in the first place. What you may not know is that anything you are currently coding as a “problem” was once a solution, and not just any solution, the best and most elegant solution possible.  When we understand the problem/original solution together we can “re-solve” and find a way that is updated to your current age, life choices and desires.
  • A brainstorming partner. As lifelong learners we will quickly make it our business to really understand your business. Many times the best ideas come out of interchanges with other people, and we will follow your story, ideas, and dreams closely and keep up with you.
  • An elementary school teacher. Just checking to see if you were paying attention, but yes, in another life Janet did teach 4th and 5th grades.

Navigating business development when it means personal change.

Quantum Growth Executive Coaching programs are created by individual negotiation. Most clients work partially by phone and partially in person. Programs are designed according to the needs of the client. Depending on where you are now, we may first choose to go through the material of the Claim Your Niche workshop to articulate your position while simultaneously beginning the didactic part of the Foundations of Business Growth program – systematizing your marketing lead generation and sales conversion. Once we lay the groundwork, the area we delve into next varies greatly depending on the needs of the client and what is your dream.  If you already have a lot of the parts of a marketing engine in place, we will first agree on a plan and then implement it to achieve the result you would like.

We typically negotiate programs in 5-7 month time periods.  We will start with a 2-3 1/2 hour session in which we will do a needs assessment, begin articulating your roadmap and set the objectives for your program.  Once we have established a set of goals and a time period, we set about achieving results.

Our programs often include a mindset optimization portion (individual breakthrough sessions). In our experience it is very rare that a person only needs the information of what to do.  Most often they also need to work on the “ecology” of the change.  That is to say on what else in your environment or inside yourself will have to change when you achieve that thing you want.  We presuppose that no-one is broken, lazy, or stupid and if you are not doing something you would like there is a reason.

Fees depend on the value of what we are achieving. They range from $750/month to $1,000/month, unless we are doing the work for you, or travelling to your place of business – in which case the fees will be significantly more expensive and we will arrange to do a one (or more) day Needs Assessment specifically for your business followed by a quotation and presentation.

If you are interested in these programs and would like to learn more about how Quantum Growth can help you achieve your desired results, please contact us and set up a time to talk. When you call we’ll have a conversation around your current business model and what are your needs. If there seems to be a match between what you need and what we offer, we’ll set up a time to do a free “Quantum Growth Strategy” Session.

The Quantum Growth Strategy Session is an in-depth interview by phone and takes about 30-45 minutes. In it we will establish your objectives and priorities and what is important about getting there. By the end of our conversation you will gain clarity, understand more about your possibilities, and get new ideas and perspectives to energize your growth.  Currently, all executive coaching programs are created and delivered by Janet.

Call Janet at 510-530-8905 to set up an appointment. For more information on how to arrange for a Quantum Growth Strategy Session, click here.
